    LOVE the new website! I especially love that I can search this site for my favorite recipes. Just last week I spent a considerable amount of time searching for your pot roast recipe (finally found it onYouTube) Now I can easily find any of your recipes right here. Thank you!
    That being said, I agree with you about this recipe being a little too “Italian” forward. I think the Garlic Parmesan wing sauce would work better here.
    Love watching your videos!

  2. Can’t wait to try it! Sounds so easy and delicious. I’m here on the northern part of TN and love watching and saving your videos. So glad you started posting the recipes!

  3. Holmescooking could yall make more with hamburger meat? For abt 2 years the spouse made baked chicken. EVERY DAY. At the point that I can’t even stand the smell of chicken. Thanks for your videos! You and the angry woman are the best!

    1. I used a little bit of milk to shake the extra Italian dressing off that was clinging to the bottle. Just a personal preference. Some people use a touch of water to shake around in the bottle. Or you can just throw the bottle away without getting the extra dressing out. It’s more of a personal choice. Hope you love the recipe!

  4. I’ll
    Give this a try. Not crazy about Italian dressing either. I like creamy Caesar. Wonder if that would work? Only cooking for one do I’ll try with one piece chicken. I have a two quart crockpot when cooking just for me. I use my 6 at when my family is here. Thanks for your recipes. Enjoy watching you. A great grandma from Western NY

  5. Been following for a while and love everything I’ve made…until this. It was a definite no in my house. Seemed to have a better taste cold, but still won’t add it to the rotation.
    Loving the website. Your wife did an amazing job!

    I only had about 1lb of chicken, so I cut the recipe in half. I’d make it again just for the amazing smells that came out of my slow cooker!
    Next time I will definitely add broccoli. It’s so good!
    I’ve loved every recipe from y’all that I’ve tried so far. Thanks for helping me stay out of the drive thru!
